DROP YOUR CAKE AND READ THIS!!!
Preganancy is no excuse for you to pig out and discard all dietary intelligence and discipline for the fleeting pleasure of a cream filled Twinkie or a greasy Big Mac.
Certainly, you and your baby need protein and some fats, but eat the healthier alternatives. If you crave fats, take a few tablespoons of flax seed oil and skip the french fries or ding dongs. Eat salads with olive oils.
Don't eat like the "Fat Bastard" just because it is sociably acceptable for a pregnant woman to be seen chowing down all the time. Desserts and empty carbohydrates, fried foods and grease all increase your risk of a heart attack and increase your baby's risk of diabetes. Think about how hard it is to get fat to come off after you have the baby.
Eat lots of vegetables, cereals, lower fat meats and eggs. Soy protein is good too.
My wife is 6 months pregnant and she looks hot because she eats the right foods. She packs me a lunch everyday with good healthy food for me too so I don't go to McDonalds to eat the devil's diet either.
